Morgan Harrington
The latest search for 20-year-old Virginia Tech student Morgan Harrington wrapped up Sunday night after three days of intense searching. Though volunteers remain hopeful, the search has yet to turn up any new leads.
Nearly 1,600 volunteers in teams of about a dozen, combed through the area near the Copeley Street Bridge, University Hall, and the John Paul Jones Arena in Charlottesville, Virginia.
Harrington, who has been missing since October 17, disappeared after being separated from friends while attending a Metallica concert. She was last seen about 9:30 that night walking on the Copeley Street Bridge, just south of the arena.
The search comes just days after Harrington’s parents made an emotional appeal for help in the search for their daughter. Morgan's father, Dan Harrington, has promised to not give up the search. He says, "We will stop at nothing until she is found, and we are eternally grateful for any additional support the community can offer in bringing Morgan home."
The search was organized by the Texas-based Laura Recovery Center. The center was founded by Bob Smither and his wife, after there 12-year-old daughter disappeared. Her remains were found 20 days later. Since then, they've helped other families in national missing persons cases.
There is a $150,000 reward for information leading to Harrington’s return. Harrington’s parents put up $100,000 of the money, and the band Metallica put up the remaining $50,000.
